Another thing I just tought of...
Do you have and use linked tables in that MDB file?
I noticed that when those tables are linked via a mapped drive or UNC
path your access will fail. This is due to limitation of the account IIS
uses.
When linking, use the real drive path (C: etc..)

Don't know if this will help but see other links and paragraph Make sure
you have adequate permissions on the database
http://www.aspalliance.com/PeterJohnson/JetAdvice.aspx
It is good idea to have the mdb file stored outside the web root to
stop the little darlings downloading it.
